Ok,
I told you I would be back with more information. This is a link to an article in Stars and Stripes. It tells the current state of the program.
As it shows, you go to: https://www.vetverify.org/ for verification.
Since I was discharged in 1977, I have evaded digitization so I am doing the process to get brought into DEERS https://www.tricare.mil/DEERS.
I will report back as things progress. Good luck!
Chuck
Thank you for the heads up. Verified yesterday.

For ease of operation and user comfort I'd choose a steel grip 2011 in 9mm with a lightened slide.
I have spoken with Adam (Atlas Gunworks) about that very spec'd out gat.
I am still on the fence about it.

Is the no go on the 1911 due to the caliber or grip/safeties? If you want a good trigger, the 1911 is your gold standard. Next after that would be a PCC/rimfire rifle.
I've had surgeries on both my back and elbow so I've reluctantly stepped away from USPSA and have been shooting steel rimfire rifle and now pistol for the past few years. Waaaaay easier on the body! Combine that with the data tracking inherent to Steel Challenge and it's addictive.
I think a lot of guys' egos make them shy away from rimfire because they see it as a "kids gun," but what I've found is that rimfire in the hands of an expert is unbelievably fast. Solid, basic fundamentals are especially pronounced because with the inherent speed of the guns combined with the lack of a draw, a top shooter is given the venue to deliver sub 2 second runs--heck sub 1.75 runs--over and over.
I am old school when it comes to the 1911, there is only one caliber.
You can count me as one of those that shy away because of what you quoted.
Not interested in PCC/rimfire rifle. The eyes don't play well with a longer sight radius.

My lack of mobility has prevented me from shooting USPSA for years.
I am now fighting arthritis and neuropathy in my hands.
I no longer shoot 1911's and the squeeze cocking mechanism of the P7 irritates my hands.
I went to the shooting range and tested a few guns (9mm). Polymer framed guns are a no go.
Fired a few steel guns (CZ, SIG, Tanfo). And while I could shoot those with no pain the triggers leave
something to be desired. I don't much about these brands so that is why I asked the question.
Thank you.

I'm retiring my beloved P7's for steel challenge matches.
I am on the search for a new gat for the same purpose.
Interested in what centerfire gat you prefer to shoot?
